I will purposely offset duplicate scan areas in cases where I want door open and closed. First set leading up to door closed and second set leading up to door open. Later I delete selective scans so in the virtual walkthrough door is closed until just a few feet away then door appears open to let viewer inside.

@mikeE Great thinking: correct answer thought not what I was looking for. It would be even better if Matterport enabled us to create snapshots that we also want to disable (such as from a corner of a room.

@Bill Great thinking and deserving of its only Forum thread (How to Open and Close Doors Successfully), correct answer though not what I was looking for.

Our team shoots 3D Showcases with eventual VR conversion in mind.

On a tablet, desktop and laptop, you want to walk in a straight line, BUT in VR, if you shoot in a straight line, you can not skip scans in between (because you can not see them when aligned). So, capturing a bit of a zig-zag enables you to see scans 2,3 and 4, for example rather than only scan 2.

Clear as mud?

Got a Brain Teaser? (That you know the answer please please create a new thread post.

"If you engage Matterport to create a VR Showcase Beta for your device, it only works on your device. Not every Note 4. (I expect that by year-end, Matterport will make it easy, fast and simple to order a VR Showcase that will play on many VR solutions.)"

Is this still the case? I am using the S6 and just ASSUMED any VR Showcase I create would be viewable on any other S6 if I send a file/link/etc.

While Matterport VR Showcase is still in beta, the VR Showcase Beta's you order will only work on your specific smartphone (you actually let then know your device ID number).

While Samsung has announced that Samsung Gear VR consumer edition ($99) will be available in November 2015, as far as I know, Matterport has not announced a date that it will exit it's beta program.

I could imagine that Matterport would want its VR solution to be available concurrent with the release of Samsung Gear VR in November so that Matterport VR Showcase models will be viewable on any Samsung Gear VR.
